Last October I received this mystery email from Home Beautiful Magazine giving details for a photography competition.  Being an avid reader of all those Homes magazines, I was suprised that I had missed it in the actual magazine.  So of course I had to enter .. given the closing deadline was just over a week away I had to hurry …. the competition called for up to 3 images that portrayed the Australian Home/Lifestyle.  As usual many thoughts run through my head, but pulling them off is always the hard thing….. I thought cricket in the cul-de-sac with the garbage bin as stumps was a good idea but that never came off  … lol … So for the first I wanted to portray Australians current love of white interiors so I dragged in a friend with a new white kitchen and we ghosted her walking through her kitchen … the result I loved ! ….

The second was our desire for the holiday home … in hindsight I don’t really like this one and probably shouldn’t have entered it ..

The third was the one that was selected … This one is a huge part of our life…the swimming pool.  The kids are in the pool everyday, assuming the weather is good, so I had to give it a go.  Charlotte was the only volunteer and we were lucky with the weather, because it had been cold and definitely not pool weather.   However this day, it had been 34 c and she had just walked home from school, so she was ready for a swim..  Lucky for us The winning entry …

These were the outtakes …….

So the prize for winning the Peoples Choice section !! … I get to spend $1000 dollars at Oz Design Furniture … and also the entries are publish in Home Beautiful Magazine at a future date ! ….

THANK YOU ! to all those voted and had to tick yes to receiving junk mail … I really do appreciate it
